I guess I understand what you mean, but would this add an unnecessary level of complexity to our already weirdly hacked together markdown solution?

I'll add it to the list. In my opinion, the code blocks (multiple spaces) shouldn't be styled at all. They should present whatever is typed exactly as is. BUT. People like using the codeblocks for things like poetry and then they like the bolds and italic.

I'm putting it on my list as "Give users the ability to escape a section of text, rather than a single character."

So maybe something like:

      \e{ un-styleable text goes here }
